When you think about mindfulness, the first thing you may think about is the origins of the practice. Jon Kabat-Zinn was the first person to popularize it in the West. He introduced the concept of mindfulness in 1979 with the introduction of the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) course. The course initially focused on pain management, but has been found to help a variety of clinical problems. It has also been linked to a reduction in the inflammation of neurons.
